    [SPARK-19509][SQL][branch-2.1]Fix a NPE problem in grouping sets when using 
an empty column

    ## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
    
    If a column of a table is all null values, the follow SQL will throw an 
NPE: `select count(1) from test group by e grouping sets(e)`.
    
    The reason is that when transformUp a `GroupingSets` in 
`ResolveGroupingAnalytics` it uses a `nullBitmask` to set an attribute with 
null ability, the nullable attribute may be modified.
    
    This pr just set all attribute's null ability to `true` in group by  
expressions to fix the problem.
    
    The pr #15484 in master branch has fixed this problem. 
    
    ## How was this patch tested?
    
    Test with Hive in my environment.
